Aleyda Solis’ post on X says SEO isn\u2019t dead, pointing to data that shows Google pulling nearly 84 billion visits in August while ChatGPT managed about 5.8 billion.<\/b><\/p>\n

Every so often, someone declares SEO dead<\/a>. A decade ago, it was social media that was supposed to end it. Then came voice search. Before that, people said Google\u2019s algorithm updates<\/a> would kill the industry. And now, large language models are the latest to be called SEO\u2019s executioner.<\/p>\n

Aleyda Solis\u2019s tweet<\/a> cut through the noise with hard numbers.<\/p>\n

In August, Google logged nearly 84 billion visits. ChatGPT drew around 5.8 billion. And almost all of those ChatGPT users also went to Google.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For websites, the financial side tells the same story, that is, AI referrals are barely noticeable compared to revenue from search engines.<\/p>\n

At Stan Ventures, those numbers mirror what we see every day, managing SEO for clients around the world. Search traffic is still the main driver of business growth. AI tools are interesting, but they\u2019re not replacing the role of search. They\u2019re adding another layer to how people look for information.<\/p>\n
